Title: What kind of non-video game things do you add to your collection?
Post by: guygus09 on September 13, 2017, 12:27:48 pm: Hi everyone, I'd like to know/see what kind of merchandise you collect alongside your game collections. I personally like to grab any soundtracks, posters, artwork booklets, replica weaponry, and promotional material if they're available. Just some stuff to add livelihood to my collection once I can get it displayed.
Any other things you feel are worth getting?

Specifically any cassette storage that is wall mountable, or those 3 drawer wooden dealies. CD storage only applies to wall mountable units as well so that spines can be read. Towers need not apply.

Post by: anagar on September 13, 2017, 08:53:28 pm: Art books, strategy guides, posters/lithos, figures/toys/amiibos and key chains. My family tends to throw little gifts my way from time to time
like graphic tees, crafts from the farmers market, and my sis and I have matching PS4 controllers necklaces.

Post by: doctorlaudanum on September 14, 2017, 01:17:27 am: I have so many posters that it's becoming a problem. A lot of people here have a backlog of games they need to crack open. I have a backlog of posters I need to add to the database. :-[

Post by: turf on September 19, 2017, 11:13:56 pm: I buy toys. I don't mean to. I just like to buy He-Man and Ninja Turtles when I see them for cheap. It makes me smile to pick them up.

Post by: shepard11 on September 20, 2017, 02:56:56 pm: I have almost as many action figures as I do games. Mostly He-man or Mega Man related. I also have a large collection of guides and artbooks too.
